<p><a name=6.9></a><b>6.9 Adjusting the timetable clock</b></p>

<p>During operation, but only when paused and not zoomed-out, clicking the <img
width=22 height=21 src="../images/RailSim2_TTCLOCK.gif"> 'adjust timetable clock' button brings up the adjustment screen.  This disables all other functions and allows the clock speed to be slowed down or speeded up, from a slowest speed of one sixteenth normal (useful for very big railways), to a fastest of sixteen times normal (useful when there are periods with little happening).  Train speeds always change in accordance with timetable clock speeds, but route setting, level crossing barrier delays and point setting only change for faster speeds, for slower speeds they remain the same as for normal speed.  This is to avoid very long waiting times for routes and points to set and barriers to change.  The clock can also be incremented by any amount by clicking the appropriate buttons as many times as is required.  When the clock is incremented only the clock is affected, train positions stay the same.  However if train movements were required during the time that has been skipped then they will run late.</p>
